[quote=Anonymous]I'm the OP here.

So, today, DH underwent PESA and 
we got tons to work with according to our Urologist.

The process was fairly quick.  
As soon as he was hooked up to IV, he was taken by the nurse to the operating room.   
According to the nurse, he was then put to sleep with a injectable anesthesia (general, not local).

20 mins later, the urologist came in the recovery room where I was waiting, 
and told me "We have a good news. We got tons of it." 
What a relief.

After that, DH on the bed was rolled in the recovery room, both eyes closed and sleeping.
For a second, I was kind of impressed that 
"Gee, really a person can put to a medicated sleep that easily."
Soon after that DH started to wake up gradually.
There was not much pain at first. 
However, as time went by, DH started to experience a lower abdominal pain (pain around the pelvic area to be specific).
He told me that it felt like a pain from constipation at the first.
After taking a high dose of Tylenol and few hours later,
now changed to a dull pain around the pelvic area.
DH says "the ball itself doesn't hurt, but it feels as if the ball is pulling something inside of me. And that feeling is creating the dull pain."

We saw a trace of needle puncture on both balls.
Ice pack is placed over the punctured area ever since he came home from the procedure.

Now, I am crossing my fingers on my part of treatment next.
